bump! Damn I didn't know they were all title fights tonight. And this shit is free........
Yes - pretty good card overall, and 3 title fights. Strikeforce always does their best to deliver.
I'm amped for WEC 48 (ppv) next weekend too.
LAWAL 3 ROUNDS TO 1
GO KING MO!!!
GO KING MO!!!
They were comparing Mousasi to Machia. I don't know about that now. Some even said that Mousasi could be Anderson Silva.
King Mo did his thang!
gassed a little - he was still hitting mo hard and he definitely has a good chin but mo's wrestling was too good
if mousasi came out with a higher motor trying to strike more he may have done some shit differently
it looked like there were a ton of subs there for him but I think Mo is crazy strong and he couldnt control him enough to pull off any armbars or triangles
Mo is obviuosly a great wrestler. But I never saw anyone take such damage in dominant position.
Damn - Mousasi's reign was short-lived (haven't watched the fight yet, but reading ya'lls comments here).
I was wondering how well he'd fare ... as SOUKAJU gave him a run for his money in late-2009, and we all (especially my crew) make fun of Soukaju alot ... but he looked good in there as well against Mousasi.
Good thing about dudes like Mousasi (24yo) and King Mo (7 fights total now) is that they've both got many years to go/grow

I know a few dudes that train with MO and al tell me that he regularly handles some big names in training.He is outstanding in wrestling,explosive and strong as hell.Strong guys take a hell of alot of energy out of you,especially when they are on top.Its hard as hell to strike when you fight a good wrestler with a god chin because if you fully commit to your strikes then you'll get taken down.
Cosign
thats because the way we're scoring this is kinda wack
yeah he took mousasi down at will but he also got smashed
he had some periods of good striking but if you had that fight broken up in the street you'd say mo lost
im a damage guy but i still gave it to mo and i feel weird about that
I think some of those shots that didnt seem to hurt mousasi in the 3rd actually hurt him
cosign that was weak

but how soukaju made that a good fight was different than his style in other fights - he used his judo more and seemed to have a better ground game
i still view that as soukaju getting better but i think mousasi has some holes in his game
takedown defense
striking output
ring control
he could have kicked mo to death if he had tdd
i thought for a minute this was some fedor shit and he was gonna armbar mo but nah
still kinda like wtf at mousasi's game plan
I'm hoping Aoki can pull off this next fight, then I'm 2 for 2. For those who don't know, Aoki is a beast.
Asian fighters don't win MMA matches...all this time we've been told they can kick so much ass, and it's a lie. 
But seriously, I have yet to see a japanese fighter win outside of Pride...and Lyoto is Brazillian so he don't count.

@ the Mo hate after he decisively beat Mousassi. Look, no one is saying he's a perfect fighter, but give the brother his due. He just won the championship by beating one of the top guys in that weight class who has much more experience.
where does he train?
yeah i wondered if he hurt mous or just wore him out wrestling - mousasi got the best of the ground but the takedowns look bad and score and he did some good things standing
Yeah cant kick the shit out of a wrestler who will shoot soon as he sees it coming

Japanese fighters have a bad reputation. They always seem weak. lets see what happens..........
